The world's second largest reserves of petroleum lie beneath the land-locked Caspian Sea, making the Caucasus of vital importance to both regional and global economic and security interests. This book brings together experts from the US, Russia and the Caucasus to examine the issues of conflict, foreign policy tradeoffs, and security in the region. It takes into account the geopolitical factors, Western and Russian involvement, and the interac...

This cutting-edge reference clearly explains pharmaceutical transport phenomena, demonstrating applications ranging from drug or nutrient uptake into vesicle or cell suspensions, drug dissolution and absorption across biological membranes, whole body kinetics, and drug release from polymer reservoirs and matrices to heat and mass transport in freeze-drying and hygroscopicity. Focuses on practical applications of drug delivery from a physical a...

Im Mittelpunkt des Bandes steht die Frage: Ist es Europa gelungen, seine spezifische politische Kultur - den nationalen Machtstaat - flächendeckend in den Rest der Welt zu exportieren? Die einzelnen Beiträge über die USA und Lateinamerika, Süd- und Ostasien, die islamische Welt und Afrika südlich der Sahara können durchaus Erfolgsgeschichten vorstellen. Weitaus häufiger ist es jedoch inzwischen zu einer Krise im Staatenwesen gekommen, so daß o...

Based on an international conference held in Prague in 1996, this volume debates the strengths and weaknesses of soil and water conservation initiatives implemented globally. It examines the varying policies employed in North America, Europe, and Australia. The book addresses the need to solve the planet's pressing conservation problems and to develop effective policies. Soil & Water Conservation Policies: Successes and Failures is a helpful r...

Demonstrates ways to track industrial processes and performance, integrating related areas such as engineering process control, statistical reasoning in TQM, robust parameter design, control charts, multivariate process monitoring, capability indices, experimental design, empirical model building, and process optimization. The book covers a range of statistical methods and emphasizes practical applications of quality control systems in manufac...

The two authors, both based in Israel (Sharlin, U. of Haifa) and Shamai (Tel-Chai College) have extensive experience as social workers involved with youth and family therapy. They present theory, models, intervention strategies, and evaluation techniques useful for working with families that have multiple problems and are in extreme distress. Speci

This text stands apart from other books on experiment design. It presents theory and methods, emphasizes both the design selection for an experiment and the analysis of data, and integrates the analysis for the various designs with the general theory for linear models. It begins with a general introduction to the subject, then leads readers through the theoretical results, the various design models, and the analytical concepts that provide the...

With the appearance and fast evolution of high performance materials, chemical and process engineers cannot perform effectively without fluid processing knowledge. The purpose of this book is to exhibit the systematic application of basic engineering principles to fluid flows that may occur in fluid processing and related activities. In Viscous Fluid Flow, the authors develop and rationalize the mathematics behind the study of fluid mechanics ...

This handbook summarizes the main advances in our understanding of marine minerals and concentrates on the deposits of proven economic potential, rather than on all marine minerals. Where our knowledge is too limited to allow us to define their economic potential, those minerals are being covered regionally or by deposit type. The book is divided into four sections: marine placers, phosporite deposits, manganese nodules, and deep-sea hydrother...

With Croatia now an independent state, this text traces the history of the region and its people. It is divided into: sections on the early medieval Croatian state, the periods of union with Hungary and with Austria, incorporation in Yugoslavia, and the creation of a sovereign state.

Presents a foundation to the principles and practices of dynamics and stability assessment of large-scale power systems. This title focuses on the use of interconnected systems - aiming to meet the requirements of competitive and deregulated environments. It contains easy-to-follow examples of fundamental concepts and algorithmic procedures.

The Royal Naval College at Osborne on the Isle of Wight was in operation from 1903 to 1921 and was the junior section of the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth. This text is the result of interviews with a large number of former cadets from a study initiated by the Society for Nautical Research.

Rom war groß. Das Imperium Romanum umfaßte geographisch einen Raum, der sich von Europa nach Nordafrika und den in Vorderen Orient erstreckte. Diesen Herrschaftsbereich zu regieren, das heißt nicht nur, ihn militärisch zu beherrschen, sondern administrativ zu durchdringen, war die große Leistung der römischen Herrscher. Doch wie stellte sich die römische Ordnungsmacht in den einzelnen Provinzen dar? Wie stark rsp. wie schwach waren die untersc...

This book presents the various areas of radiation physics including, its historical developments. The first chapter provides basic information on x-rays and radioactivity. This is followed by their diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Recent developments involving non-ionising ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiations, and the use of lasers are covered in the following chapters. The last part explains the use of ultrasound and magnetic ...

Engaging conventional arguments that the persistence of plantations is the cause of economic underdevelopment in the Caribbean, this book focuses on the discontinuities in the development of plantation economies in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic in the early twentieth century. Cesar Ayala analyzes and compares the explosive growth of sugar production in the three nations following the War of 1898--when the U.S. acquired Cuba and...
